TATTOO OFFERINGS
-
Each tattoo is designed specifically for your body, your story, and your aesthetic.
Whether it’s deeply symbolic, surreal and abstract, or rooted in realism, your piece will be tailored with flow and intention.
I specialize in black and gray work and the occasional splash of color that breathes with the skin.
→ Best for large-scale pieces, meaningful custom work, or concept-driven designs.
-
Want something intuitive and fluid? My freehand tattoos are designed directly onto the body, using your anatomy as the guide.
Each design comes from my soul and is uniquely crafted, so you can rest assured that whatever we create together will be purely yours. You’ll be an integral part of the process, and the design will evolve naturally as we work.
This approach creates seamless flow and movement — especially powerful for any placement where the tattoo needs to flow with the curvature of the body.
→ Best for clients who trust the creative process and want something one-of-a-kind.
-
These ready-to-go tattoo designs are perfect for collectors, spontaneous sessions, or those who love my style but don’t have a specific concept in mind.
You can choose from a large selection of unique pre-drawn designs and even request custom adjustments to anything you feel inspired by.
Each design is only tattooed once and can be sized to fit your body.
→ View available premade designs on my Instagram highlight or request a design from my archives.
FOR THE ONES WHO FEEL IT
You’re not just looking for a tattoo.
You’re looking for something meaningful — a piece that feels like it’s always belonged to your body.
I specialize in black and gray custom tattoos — made to flow with your anatomy, hold your story, and grow with you.
Whether it’s your very first tattoo or part of a long-term collection, this work is about more than ink — it’s about embodiment, expression, and becoming. This process is for those who want to feel more confident, powerful, and at home in their own skin.
My approach is collaborative, body-aware, rooted in human connection, and deeply intentional. I bring care, vision, and clarity into every design — so you always feel seen, heard, and honored in the tattoo process and beyond.
